The Weeknd Starry Eyes
I only met you in my dreams before When I was young and alone in the world You were there when I needed someone To call my girl And now you're my reality And I wanna feel you close But you're defeated, baby Broken, hurtin', sufferin' from a shattered soul Oh, whoa A shattered soul Oh, ooh-oh Let me be there, let me be there for your heart Let me be there, I can be there 'til you're whole You weren't touched by a man in so long 'Cause the last time it was way too strong Let me be there, let me be there for your heart Let me love you, let me love you like you need And I'll make it, make it my responsibility I'll be there every step of the way, uh I'll get you back on your feet Let me love you, let me love you like you need And you can kick me, kick me to the curb It's okay, babe, I promise that I felt worse Back then I was starry eyed And now I'm so cynical Baby, break me, kick me to the curb Oh woah Mm-mm
In “Starry Eyes,” The Weeknd is discussing a common theme of Dawn FM–caution in regard to love–in light of a special girl. More specifically, Abel’s dream girl–one who he has been enamoured with since he was “young and alone in the world,"–has gone through struggles of her own: ones which have left her "shattered.”
